The one which I heard after I confessed to another human for the first time what had happened to me.

That word is SLUT.

So, hi I am a slut.

I am reclaiming the word.

Making it mine.

In hopes that I can empower others.

Others that have gone through the same.

I will no longer be blamed for what happened to me

And I will not stand by when others get blamed for what happened to them.

Victim blaming is not okay.

And you should not be okay with it.

Hi, I am a slut

But that is my word

You can’t use it against me.

Anna Margret (they, them, theirs) is a 20-year-old student from Iceland. They have long been interested in photography and human rights activism, especially related to women’s and gender rights, LGBT+ rights, and refugee support. To combine those interest areas they found themselves fitting within the documentary line of the Creative Media Production program here at OU, as well as within different student organizations, such as The United World and the LGBT+ Program Advisory Board. Their hope is to utilize the skills acquired here at OU to build a platform for education and understanding through media.
